I'm always interested with what Resident Alien decides to spend his budget on. Worth it this week, with the music. Holy poo poo he just gas lit an entire family. Lol if this spurrs on their innevitable divorce. None of the kids in this town have mobiles, apparently. It would probably get in the way of the reverse ET vibe the sub-plot is going for. Big week for Alan Tudyk's physical acting. He's so good. And I love the way he moderates his performance when he's working in scenes with kids. He's very sweet. "Maybe there's something out there stronger than hate." Look, I like the show, and its use of voice over is stronger than a lot of other shows that use it, but I cannot believe someone voluntarily wrote that line. Edit: AAAAH! People of Earth reunion. Bet he's an alien.

I have to assume the new doctor has some weird secret going on because he's just a little too perfect, especially for a tiny town like Patience. It would be funny if he actually was another alien sent in to check on Harry (and thus actually better at being a human than Harry) since Harry's quite clearly behind on his missions since, you know, humanity is still alive.

I'm surprised I'm not seeing much people talking about the show. (Also hooray, it got renewed!) I had forgotten it was a thing until a trailer about the first episode showed up in my youtube recommendations. AND, that poo poo is so much fun. Alan Tudyk is a treasure  So far all the jokes have landed for me, it's just a great thing to watch.

I'm enjoying it for sure, but they need to reduce some of the non-Alan Tudyk scenes by about 20%. I don't need to see Asta and co dancing around a campfire for 10 minutes. EDIT: having said that, that was mostly an early-in-the-show problem and it hasn't really been that bad the last handful

I think there was an episode where they dragged too much on the secondary actors. There was also another one with zero Harry-Alien (But lots of Alan's acting), but I guess it has to do with saving a bit of money for the season finale. It's all good, I can't complain about it.

This week's episode did a pretty good job of showing why Alien Harry should be either completely CG or just the head and hands. Costume Harry just looked a little iffy.

I normally wait 3 seasons for syfy shows before I give them a shot so many are just get going and then get poo poo canned. Is Resident Alien actually worth it yet without blue balls and dreaming of what could have been? All build up and no payoff gets very tiring, as fun as trying to figure out where a show is going it's meaningless if you never get to find out if you were right.

Resident Alien is a character show. The meta plot matters to give motivations, but it's mainly about letting all these characters ping pong off each other.

This final season of Wynonna Earp has been killing it. It's mostly been a series of genre mashups, but they're smart and funny genre mashups. The most recent episode was the best take on a genie / monkey-paw episode that I've seen in a long long time, and that's before they mashed it up with a pub quiz. Next week looks like it's going to back to doing the main plot, which ho hum, because the comedy episodes are always better. But it's a fun show, and I'd recommend checking it out before it vanishes for good.

Resident Alien was so good. The callback to the song in the pilot was great. And it got pretty dark. Guess they're setting up Terry O'Quinn and Alice Wetterlund to be antagonists next season.

Just judging by how these shows usually go Dr. Fuckboy is one of those reptillions Harry mentioned last episode and has knocked up Darcy, right?

I love how Harry has been dissing on other alien races. (Grays are problematic as gently caress, if we consider what he said in early episodes about them having a butt kink).

Harry really should have gotten rid of that dead body after the close call with the wife.

muscles like this! posted:Harry really should have gotten rid of that dead body after the close call with the wife. I have a two-car garage that is currently able to house zero cars due to 40+ years of accumulated stuff. Sometimes people just procrastinate... Plus, you just know that if he gets rid of the one corpse, his people will expect him to get rid of the other 7,999,999,999 once he kills the rest of us. Who needs that hassle?

Me too! I think I saw a costume double credited, but I guess it's just for certain scenes. I hope they put the behind the scenes (does SyFy do that?) I love that kind of stuff.

I assume it is Tudyk for talking scenes (where he just wears a mask and gloves) and costume double for anything else.

That was a great season. Incredibly solid all around. There were enough plots and characters that it never dragged and never got bogged down in one or the other. Really great balance.

So many questions aaaahh. I can't believe they pulled the trigger on Harry being so unlikable. He's really horrible in this -- the stuff he does to Darcy is mean, but the dead Doctor and his wife? That's a huge swerve. He's the show's main villain. Though, speaking of villains, I'm shocked they didn't dispatch anyone. They're all sticking around for another season. That subplot with the Mayor, his wife and Darcy did not end the way I expected, but it was super super good. Quite a lot in this episode surprised me, and not just big moments, small moments too -- like the occasional moments where you get the sense that the show is about a serial killer who's squirmed his way inside the town from Schitt's Creek. I really want Michael Cassidy to be an alien.

Yeah, but I guess next season is gonna be some sort of redemption, and him still learning what is to be a human.Uh, and he is gonna have to deal with the consequences of being an rear end with Darcy. And biggest lol he is totally coming back as the town's doctor now that the perfectly handsome doc is gone (for now).

Maybe I got it wrong but the impression I got from Harry killing the previous town doctor was that it was Human Harry that did it and Alien Harry killing Human Harry was karma coming back to him for being a murderer. Yeah I does kind of make the wife not guilty but the actual investigation was by the Sheriff and not Alien Harry in any real way.

The reason why -as far as I could tell- was not revealed (lol if human-Harry was in reality a serial killer or something like that).
